The property is low rolling hills out east on the plains. It's a creek bottom with lots of cottonwoods and thick, lush grasses. But there is a lot of deadfall, just no boulders and mountainsides. Met the property owner yesterday and he offered to help retrieve, but I'd like to save that as a last resort, don't want to impose.

Reckon I'll get one of those plastic sleds, some rope and a pulley. Lots of trees there to tie off to. We're talking less than 1/2 mile to the truck anyway, likely FAR less.
How is it expensive if rancher rides over on horse or ATV and assist dragging/carrying out animal? I didn't mention spending any money. Bribe/gift for assistance with animal is typically an offer of a portion of said animal or maybe a little labor for some sort of improvement to the place.

I can understand not wanting to impose but the man offered. Ranchers/land owners do not make such offers frivolously. I would jump all over such an offer, could lead to a great friendship.

Good luck, looks like a good spot for prairie hunt.
